Saturday’s 1-0 defeat at home to Blackburn Rovers saw all too familiar problems arise for Leeds United. Daniel Farke’s side dominated possession and created more than enough chances to win it, but a combination of wasteful finishing and excellent goalkeeping kept them at bay before Sammie Szmodics’ 82nd-minute sucker-punch.
Leeds have been one of the Championship’s most exciting teams this season but, for Whites fans especially, also one of the most frustrating. A wealth of attacking talent means chances galore for Farke’s men but they have often been left to rue missed opportunities and could pay the price come May.
According to data from WhoScored on expected goals - which measures the quality of a chance by calculating the likelihood it will be scored - all of Leicester City, Ipswich Town and Southampton have been more clinical than Leeds this season. The YEP has taken a look at each team’s xG total to see who should be the biggest scorers - take a look below.
